2014 Ford F-150 complaints

WHILE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH DOWN BASELINE ROAD IN ROSEVILLE, CA. I REAR ENDED A STATIONARY HONDA ACCORD. ON IMPACT, NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK WAS CRUSHED INWARD AND THE TRUNK OF THE VEHICLE I IMPACTED HAD BEEN OBLITERATED. I HAVE MAJOR WHIPLASH AND ADDITIONAL BODY PAIN FROM THE ACCIDENT.

THERE IS A SHAKING AND VIBRATION TRANSMITTED THRU THE BRAKE PEDAL AND STEERING WHEEL WHEN EVER THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED DURING STOPPING. ACCORDING TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH F150'S. TURNING THE ROTATORS HELPS FOR AWHILE.

REAR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW SHATTERED FROM DEFROSTER.

REAR DEFROSTER WAS NOT WORKING, I ACTUALLY REALIZED IT WHEN HITTING THE REAR DEFROST ON/OFF BUTTON BY MISTAKE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT THIS IS KNOWN AND COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE F -150. I NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN I WAS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND 2000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. (DIDN'T NEED REAR DEFROST FOR MANY MONTHS). I NEVER NEEDED MY REAR DEFROSTER DURING THE SUMMER IN MICHIGAN. I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM EVEN BEFORE THE FIRST TIME I NEEDED TO USE IT IN THE FALL. WHEN I TOOK IT IN THE DEALER LED ME TO BELIEVE THAT FORD WOULD PAY FOR THIS BECAUSE IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. FORD DENIED THAT IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD ONLY COVER PART OF THE REPAIR, LEAVING ME WITH A $250.00 FEE. THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTERS ON THE F-150 ARE A SAFETY HAZARD AND CAN CAUSE THE REAR WINDOW TO EXPLODE IF NOT REPLACED. THE SERVICE TEAM INFORMED ME THAT I WAS LUCKY THAT MINE HADN'T EXPLODED. I ONLY NOTICED IT BECAUSE MY BUTTON ON MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DIDN'T ILLUMINATE WHEN I TIED TO USE THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER. FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD BE ASHAMED AT THE WAY THEY ARE HIDING THIS KNOWN ISSUE.

FACTORY RIM HAS DEFECTIVE VALVE STEM RETAINER HOLE. RIM COULD FAIL AT ANY TIME DURING STRESS OR HIGH PRESSURE LEADING TO SUDDEN AIR DECOMPRESSION. VALVE STEM RETAINER HOLE WAS MIS-DRILLED DURING MANUFACTURING. THIS DEFECT COULD BE PRESENT ON MANY VEHICLES. THIS DEFECT WAS FOUND AT THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDED TIRE REPLACEMENT INTERVAL.

2013 F-150 LARIAT' SAME THING, MARCH 2017, VEHICLE STARTED BY REMOTE STARTER IN MY DRIVEWAY, IT WAS APPROX 35 DEGREES OUT,. I BUCKLED MY SON IN THE REAR CAR SEAT, GOT INTO THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND I HEARD A LOUD BANG LIKE SOMETHING REAR HIT THE ROOF AREA. LOOKED AROUND AND DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. WHEN I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR I COULD SEE THE REAR LEFT SIDE PANEL OF GLASS HAD COMPLETELY CRACKED,"SPIDER-ED". THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK(I WILL BE SUBMITTING A SECOND COMPLAINT REGARDING THAT INCIDENT.

USED REMOTE START, IT WAS ABOUT 25 DEGREES. WENT OUT GOT IN TRUCK AND HEARD A CRACKING SOUND. TURNED AROUND TO LOOK IN BACK SEAT AND SAW DRIVERS SIDE OF REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED.

VIBRATION WHEN STARTING OFF IN FIRST GEAR OR DRIVE ON AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. ALSO VIBRATION AT 45MPH THRU 52MPH WHILE LIGHT THROTTLE APPLICATION ONLY. THIS IS REALLY NOTICEABLE ON SMOOTH ROADS.

DRIVING IN HEAVY 5 LANE TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 50-55 MILES AN HOUR, IN THE 3RD LANE FROM THE RIGHT ON I580 EAST. I ACCELERATED TO GET INTO THE EXPRESS LANE AND WHEN I WAS STARTING TO MERGE SUDDENLY THERE WAS NO POWER. IT DIDN'T MATTER HOW MUCH I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL IT HAD NO POWER. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. I HAD TO QUICKLY SIGNAL AND COASTED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY. THERE WAS A WRENCH ICON ON THE DASH AND A WARNING THAT THE TRUCK WAS STUCK IN 4X4. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND AFTER READING THE MANUAL, I STARTED THE TRUCK AND ALL SEEMED FINE UNTIL I TRIED TO MERGE AGAIN AND AGAIN NO POWER FROM THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A FORD DEALER.

BACK SLIDING GLASS WINDOW ON DRIVER'S SIDE (WITH DEFROST) - USED REMOTE CRANKING THIS MORNING TO START THE TRUCK ON A MID 40 DEGREE MORNING. TRUCK HAD BEEN RUNNING APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES. UPON ENTERING THE VEHICLE AND PLACING IT IN REVERSE, I NOTICED THAT THE REAR WINDOW (DRIVER'S SIDE, NON-SLIDING PORTION) WAS SHATTERED. I EXITED THE TRUCK TO INSPECT AND COULD HEAR CRACKING NOISES, LIKE RICE CRISPIES, AS IT WAS STILL CRACKING. THERE HAD NOT BEEN ANY IMPACT TO THE GLASS PREVIOUSLY AND THERE WAS NO IMPACT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THE TRUCK IS APPROXIMATELY 24 MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE AND HAS 20,8XX MILES. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALER TO INQUIRE ABOUT WARRANTY CLAIMS.

BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE FINALLY STOPPING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING SLOWLY GETTING INTO THE STREET. DID NOT CRASHED BECAUSE I WAS KEEPING A LONG DISTANCE FROM THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. TOOK TO THE FORD DEALER AND WAS TOLD OF NO RECALLS AND SUGGESTED TO TAKE IT TO A PLACE WHERE THEY MAKE OIL CHANGES AND MINOR REPAIRS FOR AN INSPECTION. DID AS TOLD AND THEY CHECKED THE BRAKES FOR WEAR, LEAKS AND VISUAL DAMAGE AND FOUND NONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150 TOWING A COUGAR FIFTH WHEEL CAMPER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOBBLED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROTORS WERE OVERHEATING. THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

REAR DEFROST STOPPED WORKING JUST AFTER 36000 MILE WARRANTY EXPIRED,DEFROST BUTTON DOES NOT LIGHT UP. IM AM AN ASC CERTIFIED TECH, CHECKED ALL THE FUSES AND RELAYS, THE DEFROST GRID HAS POWER TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE THREE PANEL REAR WINDOW ONLY, POWER TO LEFT ISNT THERE, IVE SEEN ALOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THERE RIGHT REAR GLASS SHATTERING OUT OF NOWHERE AFTER USING REAR DEFROST. POSSIBLY SAME ISSUE?,DOENST MATTER IF VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN OR NOT.

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE 408 EXPRESSWAY IN ORLANDO FL, I (ALONG WITH WIFE AND KIDS) SPOTTED TRAFFIC CONGESTION AHEAD. WHEN I APPLIED BRAKES I REALIZED MY BRAKES DIDN'T WORK. AN ERROR FLASHED ON MY DASHBOARD SAYING LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL. USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND DOWNSHIFTING THE VEHICLE I WAS ABLE TO COME TO A SAFE START USING THE MEDIUM. WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO FORD I WAS TOLD THE BRAKE FLUID LEAKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER CAUSING THE FAILURE IN MY BRAKES. THERE WEREN'T ANY LEAKS VISIBLE FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A RECALL ON TRUCKS SIMILAR TO MINE FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT FOR SOME REASON MY TRUCK WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I HAD TO PAY FORD TO GET THE VEHICLE FIXED.

TURNED ON REAR WINDOW DEFROST AND ONE OF THE THREE REAR WINDOW PANES CAUSED A LOUD POP! THE DRIVER SIDE PANE HAD CRACKS THROUGHOUT THE WINDOW!. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, AND RUNNING WHILE I WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE MY HOUSE.

UNCOMMANDED BLOWER MOTOR SPEED CHANGE OR RECIRCULATION DOOR MOVEMANT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIGOROUSLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE COILS AND SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE GEAR SHIFTED FROM SIX TO THIRD GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE CONTACT HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE ALL THE WAY TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER AND THE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM, CAMSHAFT, TIMING BELT, AND TIMING CHAIN WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 148,000.

SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE: ON OR ABOUT 1/25/17 THE TRUCK BEGAN COMPLETELY LOSING THROTTLE CONTROL. WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE ONTO THE HIGHWAY OR TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS UP TO 70MPH TRUCK WOULD SHUT OFF WITH COMPLETE LOSS OF THROTTLE RESPONSE, A BLUE WRENCH ICON WOULD APPEAR AND THE DRIVER WOULD HAVE TO TRY AND COAST TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. AT A COMPLETE STOP THE TRUCK WOULD CONTINUE TO NOT HAVE THROTTLE CONTROL, TO REGAIN THROTTLE CONTROL THE DRIVER WOULD HAVE TO RESTART THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK WOULD THEN DRIVE FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND LOSE THROTTLE AGAIN SEVERAL MILES DOWN THE ROAD. THIS PROBLEM PROVED TO BE A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHILE TRYING TO MAKE TURNS ACROSS LANES OF TRAFFIC NOT KNOWING IF THE TRUCK WOULD LOSE POWER AND THROTTLE CONTROL IN THE PATH OF AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE PROVED TO BE EQUALLY DANGEROUS WHILE SUDDENLY SLOWING FROM HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH NO THROTTLE CONTROL AND COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. THE TRUCK WAS DELIVERED TO FORD AUTONATION OF ORANGE PARK 7700 BLANDING BLVD, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32244 ON 1/26/17 AND LEFT IN THEIR CARE FOR PROGNOSIS. ON OR ABOUT 1/26/17 FORD AUTONATION OF ORANGE PARK DETERMINED THE CAUSE OF FAILURE TO BE THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY, THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER HAD FAILED INSIDE THE THROTTLE BODY AND THE UNIT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. WAS QUOTED $667 AND TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SATISFACTION DEPARTMENT AND STARTED A CASE (CAS-11570

COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER BRAKES CONTINUES. BEGAN AFTER RECALL OF MASTER CYLINDER. POWER ASSIST IS LOST AND BRAKES REQUIRE 2 FEET TO STOP THE TRUCK. ONLY HAPPENS ON RAINING DAYS. DEALER WAS ABLE TO REPRODUCE AND REPLACED PRESSURE SWITCH WHICH HAS NOT CORRECTED IT. LAST NIGHT BRAKES FAILED 4 TIMES ON COMMUTE HOME. HAD TO PULL OFF ROAD TO AVOID COLLISION AND CAUSED ME TO BLOW OUT TIRE HITTING SOMETHING ON SIDE OF ROAD. UNACCEPTABLE FORD!!!! TO DATE 500.00 FOR SWITCH AND 200.00 FOR BLOWN TIRE. NO POINT IN RETURNING TO DEALER UNLESS IT IS RAINING BECAUSE WITHOUT A CODE OR ACTIVE FAULT TECHNICIANS ARE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE. NEED FORD ENGINEERING TO FIGURE THIS OUT BEFORE SERIOUS INJURY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS A KNOCKING NOISE THAT CAME FROM THE ENGINE. IN ADDITION, THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE INFORMED THE ENGINE BLEW UP DUE TO ECO BOOST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

ENTERING THE INTERSTATE AND VEHICLE STARTED TO SHUTTERE/SHAKE AND COMPLETELY LOST POWER ANY KIND OF POWER TO THE ENGINE. THE ACCELERATIOR WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING. WARNING LIGHT, AN ORANGE WRENCH APPEARED ON THE DASH DISPLAY. VEHICLE WOULD ONLY COAST BUT DID NOT DIE. WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY A VEHICLE TRAVELING AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS AS VEHICLE WOULDN'T PULL OVER FAST ENOUGH. VEHICLE DECELERATED REALLY FAST AND IT WAS TERRIFYING WATCHING A VEHICLE APPROACHED ME AND MY CHILD AT INTERSTATE SPEED. NARROWLY ESCAPED DISASTER. VEHICLE SAT ON SIDE OF ROAD FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND POWER RETURNED TO VEHICLE.

REAR WINDOW SHATTERS WHEN USING REAR DEFROST.

6 POWER BRAKE FAILURES IN LESS THAN 1 MONTH. FIRST TIME TO DEALER COULD NOT FIND ISSUE. AFTER 4 MORE FAILURES THEY WERE ABLE TO REPRODUCE. BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES EXTREMELY HARD AND DIFFICULT TO STOP TRUCK. HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED. THEY REPLACED BRAKE BOOSTER PRESSURE SWITCH AND SAID IT WAS FIXED. IT IS NOT, FAILED TWICE TODAY. ALL 6 FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED AFTER MC WAS REPLACED UNDER RECALL. BRAKE SYSTEM IS UNSAFE!!!!

WHEN REMOTE START WAS USED WHEN IT WAS COLD OUTSIDE THE BACK GLASS BUSTED. NO RECALL ON THE TRUCK. HAD TO FILE ON INSURANCE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. WE HAVE FOUND THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A LOT OF FORD F150 YEAR 2010-2015 TRUCKS.

DRIVING DOWN ROAD AND LOST POWER STEERING. TOOK ALL MY STRENGTH TO STEER TRUCK. PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED ALSO LOST TURN SIGNAL, HEADLIGHTS DIDN'T WORK. TWO MESSAGES CAME UP, CHECK TRACTION CONTROL AND LOW BATTERY POWER SAVE MODE. MIGHT OF BEEN OTHER THINGS NOT WORKING BUT DIDN'T CHECK FOR ANYTHING ELSE. DROVE IT TO FORD DEALER. AGAIN TOOK ALL MY STRENGTH TO TURN STEERING WHEEL. WAS DRIVING DOWN STRAIGHT ROAD ABOUT 20 MPH. VERY LUCKY DIDN'T HAPPEN ON CORNER OR WHEN WIFE DRIVING IT.

ELECTRONIC STEERING MODULE FAILED RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNABLE TO STREER.

WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED WITH AN ADULT PASSENGER WHO IS SEATED PROPERLY AND WEARING SEATBELT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT OCCASIONALLY COMES ON AND WILL STAY ON FOR DIFFERENT TIME FRAMES SOMETIMES MINUTES OR AN ENTIRE TRIP BEFORE TURNING ITSELF BACK ON. WE HAVE BROUGHT THE ISSUE TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND ON BOTH OCCASIONS WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY TESTED THE SYSTEM AND THAT IT IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. WE HAVE ALSO HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR WHERE THE TIRE WAS VISIBLY LOW, AND WHEN CHECKED WAS OVER 15 LBS LOW SOMETIMES 20 LBS BUT THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING NEVER CAME ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WITH THE SAME TIRE SENSOR AND EACH TIME WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS PURCHASED THROUGH AND EACH TIME WE HAVE BEEN ASSURED THAT THE SENSORS ARE WORKING PROPERLY. YET I HAVE HAD THE REAR TIRE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BE LOW 5 LBS AND THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS LOW. THE TIRE STATES 44LBS AS THE RECOMMENDATION FOR MAXIMUM INFLATION, THEY ARE THE PROPER TIRES FOR THE VEHICLE, AND 25 PERCENT WOULD BE AT LEAST 11 LBS LOW IS MY UNDERSTANDING. YET WHEN I ASKED IF THERE IS A CERTAIN LOSS OF PRESSURE THAT WE SHOULD BE INFORMED BY WE WERE TOLD NO THAT SOME TIRES MIGHT JUST SENSE IT SOONER THAN OTHER BUT THAT THEY WERE ALL WORKING PROPERLY. WE JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS OUR CONCERNS AS WE HOPE THAT THESE SYSTEMS WIL

STEERING WHEEL SWITCH CONTROLS (CRUISE CONTROL, RADIO, BLUE TOOTH FUNCTIONS) BECOME ERRATIC AND SWITCH FUNCTIONS BECOME JUMBLED (IE. ACTIVATING THE RADIO VOLUME CONTROL SWITCH MAY CHANGE THE RADIO STATION OR INCREASE VEHICLE SPEED). PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, BUT DID OCCUR DURING A DEALER SERVICE VISIT. THE DEALER REPLACED SWITCH PACK, BUT PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I CONDUCTED MY OWN RESEARCH AND FOUND OTHER F150 OWNERS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. SOME HAVE BEEN SOLVED WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE STEERING COLUMN CLOCK SPRING. WITH THE UNPREDICTABILITY OF WHEN THIS ISSUE PRESENTS ITSELF I HAVE RESORTED TO NEVER USING THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE DUE TO THE RISK OF UNINTENDED SPEED CHANGES. WHILE THE REMAINING ISSUES ARE INCONVENIENT, I WOULD NOT CLASSIFY THEM AS DANGEROUS. THE CLOCK SPRING ISSUE APPEARS TO BE COMMON ENOUGH TO WARRANT A MORE THOROUGH INVESTIGATION. FOR THOSE USING THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE ARE AT AN INCREASED RISK OF AN INADVERTENT ACTIVATION WHICH MAY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLE DEATH.

PUT THE REAR DEFROSTER ON FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. STARTED TO DRIVE DOWN MY ROAD HEARD A POP SOUND. STOPPED LOOKED IN REAR, DRIVERS SIDE SECTION OF WINDOW WAS SHATTERED (SLIDER). THANK GOD MY GRANDCHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE BACK SEAT.

AFTER TURNING ON THE REAR DEFROSTER FOR ABOUT 2-3 MINUTES THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW SHATTERED. (IF LOOKING FROM BEHIND ITS THE FAR RIGHT OUT OF THE 3 PART WINDOW. ) ITURNED IT ON AND DROVE ON A STRAIGHT ROAD FOR 1/4 TO 1/2 MILE AT APROX 35 MPH. WE HEARD A LOUD POP/BANG AND LOOKED AROUND AND FOUND THE SHATTERED WINDOW. NO PUNCTURE MARK OR HOLE FROM ANY OBJECT HITTING IT. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ACCORDING TO REVIEWS AND NEWS ARTICLES AS THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE DEFROSTER OVER HEATING. LUCKILY IT STAYED IN THE WINDOW SO WE DO NOT HAVE GLASS EVERY WHERE BUT IT COULD FLY OUT EVERY WHERE AT ANY SECOND. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A CHILD IN THE BACK.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE MOVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. POWER STEERING RETURNS AND FAILS OFF AND ON REPEATEDLY. VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM, BUT DID NOT INCLUDE THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. STEERING ALSO FAILS ON CITY STREETS AND COMES OFF AND ON WITH NO DEFINED PATTERN. MUST BE MAN HANDLED TO BE STEERED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND WHILE IDLING, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW EXPLODED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE PANEL WINDOW SHATTERED. PRIOR TO THE ISSUE, THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.

TAKATA RECALL. STARTED VEHICLE WITH REMOTE START GOT IN THE VEHICLE STARTED DRIVING AND LOOKED AND SEEN THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WINDOW WAS SHATTERED. LOOKED ON ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS SIMILAR ISSUES AND IT WAS. *TR

2014 F150 ECOBOOST LOST POWER BRAKE ASSIST AT 70 MPH. RECENTLY HAD MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED UNDER RECALL PROGRAM. DEALER CAN NOT FIND ANY ISSUE WITH BRAKES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN TO LOSE ABILITY TO STOP TRUCK, NO ISSUE PRIOR TO RECALL REPLACEMENT. PEDAL BECAME HARD AND REQUIRED 2 FEET TO BRING TRUCK TO STOP. CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON AND BRAKE IDIOT LIGHT. HAD TOWED TO DEALER. UNABLE TO FIND AN ISSUE.

WHILE PULLING A TRAILER AFTER 100 MILE TRIP DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY, MY POWER STEERING AND BRAKES STOPPED WORKING . AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER IVE LEARNED THE POWER STEERING RESERVOIR IS INFERIOR, CAUSING CAVITATION. IN OTHER WORDS THE FLUID OVER HEATS AND CAUSES PUMP FAILURE.

AFTER HAVING MY TRUCK FAIL TO START SEVERAL TIMES I DISCOVERED IT WAS A "FUSE 27" ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK. THIS ISSUE IS SO PREVALENT THAT THE FORD DEALER KNEW THE ISSUE BY NAME AS SOON AS I DESCRIBED IT. THE FUSE, LOCATED IN SLOT 27 OF THE MAIN FUSE PANEL WAS SEVERELY BURNED AND CHARRED FROM AN OVERLOAD ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE FUSE TO BURN IN ITS SOCKET INSTEAD OF TRIPPING LIKE A FUSE IS DESIGNED. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, I DISCOVERED THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO FORD (TSB 15-0137) AND HUNDREDS, POSSIBLY THOUSANDS OF FORD F-150 VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD TO THE VEHICLE, OR COULD CAUSE LOSS OF POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. FORD IS CHOOSING TO RELEASE A TSB AND A REPAIR KIT, AND CHARGE CUSTOMERS TO FIX THEIR FAULTY WIRING IN THEIR NEW VEHICLES INSTEAD OF A RECALL OR WARRANTY COVERAGE OF A KNOWN ISSUE THEY ARE NOT FIXING. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND IRRESPONSIBLE ON FORD'S PART. *TR

REAR DEFROSTER WORKED SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES NOT NOW IT STOPPED COMPLETELY AFRAID IT WILL START ON ITS OWN AND SHATTER MY WINDOW I HAVE MY TWO GRANDKIDS IN THE BACK EVERY DAY AFRAID THEY WILL BE HARMED IF IT SHATTERS OR CATCH ON FIRE DUE TO THE SHORT WHY NO RECALLS TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

THE OPERATOR CALLED AND INFORMED US THAT THE VEHICLE ACTED LIKE IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. WHEN HE STOMPED DOWN ON THE PEDAL THE VEHICLE WENT FULL ACCELERATION AND STAYED THERE. HITTING THE BRAKES DIDN'T HELP. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON BUT NOT SET. HE TRIED PULLING UP ON THE PEDAL, TURNING OFF CRUISE AND KILLED TRUCK AND RESTARTED TO MAX ACCELERATION, KILLED THE ENGINE, RESTARTED AND IT RESET AND WENT TO WORKING. WE HAVE NO CODES, INSPECTED THROTTLE BODY AND CLEANED, INSPECTED WIRING AND APP OPERATION, OTHER THAN GRAPH SIGNALS WERE CHOPPY AND NOT FAIRLY SMOOTH (NO DIAGNOSIS).

WHILE DRIVING (IN MOTION) PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR CAME OFF HITTING THE CLOSED PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW... THERE WAS NO KNOWN OR VISIBLE SIGN OF DAMAGE TO THE MIRROR... IN FACT THE MIRROR LINKAGE WAS FOUND ON THE GROUND ALONG WITH THE MIRROR.. THE MIRROR JUST DISCONNECTED AND FLEW OFF.. A PERSON WAS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SIDE.. THE LOUD UNEXPECTED BANG WHEN THE MIRROR HIT THE WINDOW SHOCKED THE PASSENGER AND CAUSED A NECK SPRAIN TO THE DRIVER. IF THE WINDOW HAD BEEN OPEN THE PASSENGER WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT IN THE FACE.. ALSO OTHERS IN THE VINCINITY OF THE TRUCK COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY THE FLYING MIRROR.. THIS TOOK PLACE ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET...

HAD A BRAKE FAILURE IN 08/2016. TOOK TO DEALER, BRAKE BOOSTER & MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED. I WAS INFORMED IT WAS COVERED UNDER RECALL. WAS TOLD VEHICLE NEEDS TO RETURN TO REPLACE MASTER CYLINDER AGAIN WHEN REMANUFACTURED PART IS DEVELOPED. TALKED TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON 10/25/2016 AND THY ADVISED NEW PARTS ARE IN. ATTEMPTED TO MAKE APPOINTMENT AND WAS TOLD I WASN'T UNDER RECALL (ALTHOUGH I HAVE PAPERWORK). THEY THEN ADVISED ME THAT THEY INSTALLED REMANUFACTURED CYLINDER IN AUGUST (???). I CALLED MAIN FORD HEADQUARTERS TO EXPLAIN AND I ASKED HOW THEY WOULD HAVE HAD THE PART IN AUGUST IF IT WASN'T EVEN AVAILABLE UNTIL THE 4TH QUARTER OF '16 (BY THEIR ADMISSION ON THEIR WEBSITE). REP COULDN'T ANSWER AND SAID SHE WOULD CALL DEALERSHIP. WHEN SHE RETURNED, SHE ONLY STATED, "YES, YOU HAVE THE REMANUFACTURED MASTER CYLINDER". WHEN ASKED HOW SHE COULD ASSURE ME THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE CASE, SHE COULDN'T. I'M SCARED! MY WIFE HAD ONE FAILURE & SURE DON'T WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE ON ANOTHER. IS THERE ANYWAY THAT Y'ALL COULD GET INVOLVED TO ASSURE HER THIS WAS CORRECTLY REPAIRED? I'M THINKING THAT SINCE THEY DID PUT ANOTHER MC IN THE VEHICLE, I WAS REMOVED FROM THE RECALL. I DON'T THINK I'M ASKING MUCH. PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 23 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT WAS FORCED TO DRIVE INTO A CEMENT WALL TO AVOID CRASHING INTO OTHER VEHICLES. AFTER IMPACT, THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.

UPDATED 12/21/16*LJ UPDATED 12/28/16.*JB

WAS DRIVING ON C-470 WHEN I HEARD A LOUD GUNSHOT NOISE. DID A QUICK ASSESSMENT OF WINDSHIELD AND VEHICLE IN MIRRORS. HEARD A CRACKLING SOUND COME FROM THE SUNROOF. PULLED BACK VISOR AND THE SUNROOF WAS COMPLETELY SPIDER CRACKED. GOT HOME LOOKED AT THE SUNROOF FROM THE ROOF AT EYE LINE AND NOTICED A BULGE COMING FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, LIKE TOO MUCH PRESSURE BUILT UP INSIDE THE TRUCK AND EXPLODED THROUGH THE SUNROOF. *TR

HAVE LOST POWER STEERING, BRAKES, AND ENGINE TWICE AT DIFFERENT INCLINES, LOW/MODERATE SPEEDS AND WHILE OR AFTER TURNING RIGHT. BOTH CAUSED BY A BLOWN FUSE (ONCE FUSE27, THEN AFTER REPAIR FUSE70). DURING THE SECOND OCCASION THIS ALMOST CAUSED A SERIOUS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCIDENT. CLEARLY THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AS IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME AFTER REPAIR BY THE DEALERSHIP. LOSS OF POWER IS SUDDEN AND IN MY CASE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART BECAUSE THE FUSE WAS BLOWN.

EXCESSIVE VIBRATION DURING BRAKING, PARTICULARLY ON THE HIGHWAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC.
